So I feel like their work wasn't acknowledged like it could have been. Everybody worked really hard under very long hours. We all know how great movie crews are and special effects, stunt people and everybody that breaks their asses along with the cast. I walked into it with my eyes open and what I really feel bad about is the crew. Of course! Now I don't think so completely, the box office was in search of its next hit movie financially so there was pressure. So all the decisions that went into the sequel, the mere fact that you had a sequel at all was somewhat due to ego on your part? I wondered what the man that made great films like The Lost Boys, 8mm, A Time to Kill, Phone Booth, and Batman Forever (not great but not terrible) was thinking and thankfully, Joel Schumacher was willing to talk to VICE and shed some light on the making of the film. Batman & Robin ignored the popular direction that Tim Burton took with his brooding Batman and went with a colourful, Vegas-styled vision rife with bat-ice-skates, sky surfing, and bat nipples. When I look back at the 20th anniversary of Batman & Robin, I'm still reminded of the cringe-fest that the 1997 film was, compared to previous iterations of Batman-and I'm including the campy 1960s live-action show.
The second time, I felt like I was making a kid's toy." And later, Chris O'Donnell said, "On Batman Forever, I felt like I was making a movie. It was so bad in fact that the main star and co-star went on the record stating as much, "It was a difficult film to be good in," said George Clooney in an interview with Total Film. The apology seemed like a good way to start because Batman & Robin was terrible, not by my DC fanboy standards, but by historical standards. "I want to apologize to every fan that was dissapointed, because I think I owe them that." "Look, I apologize," Schumacher told me in a phone interview last week.
